I just wanted to clarify the length of time REC's need to be purchased over. From what I understand, you purchase a total of two years. At the time of certification you have to have purchased enough credits to have covered the performance period, and have in place a contract to purchase the remainder of the two years, correct? You do not have to purchase enough for the performance period plus two additonal years do you?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Hi Rachael,
You are correct- to earn the green power credit(s) for LEED EB O&M 2009, you have to purchase enough to cover two years of the energy usage of the project. Green Power is should be purchased during the projects initial performance period, which is included in the 2 years required.
Hope this helps!
